Moonlight Scene Of Main Steet

Moonlight Scene Of Main Steet looking south from the Frisco Railroad tracks where electric lights gaily welcomed visitors to Tulsa. The large building centered in the background is the five story First Nation Bank of Tulsa Building, circa 1910. The lighted arch reads, "Welcome to Tulsa."

C. Hall buildings, including one of the original wooden Hall buildings.
